FAQ  |  Who we are, What we do and Why

We are the AWANA TNT Team, serving 3rd through 6th grade students. TNT is where kids begin to take ownership of their faith and grow deeper in their understanding of who God is and how His Word applies to their lives. Each week, we create a fun, engaging, and Christ-centered environment where students dive into God's Word through interactive Bible lessons, Scripture memorization, games, small group discussions, and hands-on activities. We do this because we believe this is a critical stage where faith becomes personal — and when students are grounded in God's Word, they are equipped to follow Jesus with confidence and conviction.

When and where does your ministry normally serve?

Every week during the calendar school year starting the first Wednesday in September after Labor Day until the third week in May, with a two-week break in the Fall, a Winter break, and a two-week break in the Spring. We serve in the B25–B26 Hallway classrooms at St. Paul. Craft Preppers can prep weekly crafts at their leisure in their own home.

Once per week on Wednesdays.

What is the average expected time commitment when serving?

• Helpers: 2 hours every Wednesday (5:30–7:30pm), plus 30–45 minutes to familiarize yourself with the lesson, game, and/or crafts.

Quarterly team meetings during student breaks.

Are there requirements to be a part of your ministry?

Adult teachers and leaders (18+) must have a background check. Adult leaders must be a member of St. Paul for at least 6 months or have been participating in a St. Paul program for at least 6 months. A love for kids, especially ages 3rd–6th grade, is a must!
